Well it looks like you got a field promotion, honorary Professor Shug. Congratulations! Hope you like the Department of Advanced Hammock Lounging and Lollygagging.

Really enjoyed this work! Also, looking forward to seeing you in more combined works with Professor Hammock (GrizzlyAdams) and RallohE (Hawk-Eye). What a triumphant triumvirate! Whoooooooooo Budddy Good!

I have to say for a noob like me you explain things in a easy to understand and fun way like all the best teachers do. The series has really taught me a few ways to do things easier, I've already got some figure 9s in the post to speed up my ridge-line tightening.

Another great video brother. I am collecting this series and just waiting for the last one so I can put em on a disk.

I just wanted to ask you if you think Hammock camping is truly THAT lightweight. I mean, you know, if you went to ground your setup would probably save at least pound or so. Have you ever tried a tarptent?

Sugarboy,
I just have one little word for you.....DANG!!!!!!!!!
Now go take care of your friend that likes to call you CQ!

Shucks Son. We watched a movie and held hands. Old school.

hat cam? and what are you using to edit?
These videos are GREAT. Now my wife understands more about hammocks than I ever could have explained to her

Well ... not much to it. I bring my Canon PowerShot SD960IS Digital Camera ... 3 extra batteries, Ultra-Pod, StickPic and practice holding camera still with my arm. I do that the most.
Head cam .... my headlamp on backwards, slip Ultra-Pod in (it comes down and rests on my nose.
Use iMovie. Older edition. Some Final Cut for fancy stuff.

Made my morning coffee time that much better

Painted that around 10 years ago. It was an aerial show we did kinda based on Xena.
Off for my Thorazine......... drool.

A photo would be priceless

Life's A Journey
It's not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body,
But rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting,
Woo Hoo!....What a Ride!

Shug,
Thanks for doing all the videos. I don't even have a hammock yet and I'm learning so much from your videos. It's so much easier to grok when I see it than when it's explained in text. And you're completely entertaining. They make a great body of reference for me.
No hammock yet but an evolving list of equipment!
